A coup d'état threatens the royal rule of Equestria and its four princesses are now in grave danger. Leading this coup is a ruthless and beastly stallion named Martinet and the ponies rallied to his cause form his army known as the Bronies. With Twilight Sparkle having been crowned as Equestria's youngest princess, Martinet vows to crush the royal reign, believing that she will one day suppress his people from the Hollow Shades. A frightened Twilight believes she has no choice but to recruit royal guards from all over Equestria and fight back to save the throne from Martinet's iron hoof. Meanwhile in Ponyville, the Cutie Mark Crusaders prepare to welcome a new filly into their society as the fifth crusader, but they find themselves in a war of their own when Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon somehow rally a group of kids to their cause to suppress all ponies without cutie marks and ensure that they never earn them.

NOTE: The concept of this story is loosely based on the fan base war over Princess Twilight Sparkle. So General Martinet basically represents the angry brony fandom while Princess Celestia represents Hasbro that supposedly "suppresses" bronies using their C&D order against "Fighting is Magic" as an example. The use of the term "bronies" in this story is meant to poke fun at any number of bronies who spread the hate around, disliked Princess Twilight, erupted into war, and/or didn't get over Princess Twilight. Because seriously, they acted so immature and everyone knows it. Obviously, Black Kyurem pokes fun at these bronies because they haven't left the fandom yet.
